Presenting a Woman of God

We had a special evening planned for Abby honoring her maturity into womanhood. 32 people were present, including her friends and some of her family, to celebrate the event. The evening started out with swimming as people were arriving. Then we had a yummy dinner catered by "Grammie". After dinner, we gathered in the living room. Craig, Doug and Carlos all said wonderful things about Abby. George gave the closing prayer instructing her friends to lay hands on her as he prayed for her. The evening concluded with coffee and cake.

Abby's Turn

The action shots are much more difficult to get with Abby's level of play because the game moves so much faster. Most of these shots are not action shots. I did the best I could. I got a couple at the net and one back row. The action shot is a bit blurry, but the form is good! Notice how high she gets above the net. It is amazing how much different two years makes. The difference between Abby's level and Emily's level of play is huge. Saturday, I left the house at 5:15 to get to Emily's game in time for the 8:00 game. With only six player who were able to make it, Emily played all games. Her team won two out of three matches, taking each match to three games. Likewise, Abby's team won two out of three matches. Abby's team started the tournament as the first play seat and managed to keep their position even though they lost a match because the team the lost to lost their match in two games to one of the teams we won.

Emily's Turn at Volleyball

Emily is learning to play volley ball. Emily did very well with her serving and her bumps. Her under hand serve is very consistent and has a spin to it. Her overhand serve is pretty good too. She made most of her overhand serves and felt very confident by the end of the day. As this picture shows, she is not afraid to dig for a ball.

Stacie's Wedding

We attended Stacie's wedding, May 3rd, 2008. It was a very nice wedding. We enjoyed the time together with family.
